There is a stillness that lies beyond the tallest trees; beyond the quiet nesting of daylight summer birds
Halfheartedly I am reluctant to close my weary eyes, to miss this beautiful cool refreshing bliss of serenity once more bound in endless flow
How contemptuous a nightly lull that breaks the sun's disquietness of the day, renders day into night, and twilight shadows that playfully scorn our daytime senses
We are all rocked in the cradle of mother night she sings her veiled and peaceful insightful sound I suckle like so many others on her breast of cool refreshing peace I absorb her calming black-night-lactose that gently whispers to sleep the energetic day child within us all As cool water consumes fire As night consumes the heated day
I think beyond the stars that now shine the past starry nights I think about trillions upon trillions of stars overwhelmed by the black empty outer limits that encircle and distantly embrace them
I think about the greater part of the universe, making ours and all other daylight galaxies appear but like so much dull insignificant fluorescent glow And because how mind boggling, awesome and vast is the eternal cosmic night sky
And how belligerent to think all galaxies' day-suns like our Sun, being the all powerful when they are but only minuscule stars winking and swimming passively in the greater awesome devouring blackness
LOOK NOW!...a comet streaks across the heavens like a rapid musicians hypnotic metronome then stops then fades away while the rest of the heavens sing along in blinking symphonyΒ Β
Influenced by my most inner ease my total being joins this starry rhythm I sway like a calm breezy lull and half shuffle my feet over the midnight countryside of stillness... ... ever sooooo...gently
